look at those dems.   They want discussion about the sales tax thing kept A BIG SECRET from the taxpayers!  

Dems must STOP the SECRETS!!!!!!!!!!!

"we have to pass it for you to know what's in it"

Is that like the REPS having a plan to recover the economy and create jobs that they won't tell us until "after we are elected"???

You want to see the sausage making? What happened last night was a total disgrace. DEM bosses before
the taxpayers. Gardiner uber alles. The City DEM coven are all finished in politics. Dump Marion Poterfield
Thursday on Primary Day. Get out and dump this DNC moron. Vote for Robert Sanders and not the McCheese moron Marion. This Mayor couldn't be re-elected dog catcher. The City must go bankrupt. Had enough-YET?

Yup Porterfield , King, Perazzo and McCarthy all have to go. After last night I've finally seen Erikson in action and I
liked it.  Riggi is our only voice on the council.

Still wondering what NYS "had in mind"

Also I posted yesterday and still wondering if only dems vote primary day?

I was astounded listening last night when the rather rotund Ms. Perrazzo and the Porterhouse woman talked about the endless hours of discussions that were held over the sales tax issue. I must confess that I don't watch entire committee meetings when they are televised, but I'm sure that I would have noticed some of these countless hours of discussions. Where was this debated at such great length? Is there a record that could be accessed detailing the many hours devoted to this subject?

On another note my perception of Ms. Perrazzo, who it appears has never met a Bavarian Chocolate Cake she didn't like, and the totally clueless Ms. Porterhouse, is that they are merely on the council as sort of a resume building exercise. They have no idea of what's going on.

And please, could someone give each member, especially the horrible council president, a copy of Roberts Rules of Order. They have no idea of how a meeting is conducted.

Don't see how her weight has anything to do with it.

Perazzo is only concerned about Proctors.  Porterfield is clueless. Brucker is a ..... And King is just there to announce
festivities going on in the city.

The phrase "Fat Cat" comes to mind as it relates to Ms. Perrazzo and the other so called council members. Should I have used that instead?

Visitor, are you equally offended by the incompetence of the Council members as you are by my feeble attempt at humor and home made metaphor? I would hope so.

Unnecessary insult seems to detract from the other serious points you are making.

I think it makes it a bit more entertaining.  When living the misery called Schenectady, humor is all you have left.

I know Jason and he is a principled person.  If he did something like this, he must have felt very storngly about it.  He is far from a loose cannon.

Furthermore, if Ericson (GE bean counter) and Jason (Financial professional) seem to thinks it's a bad deal - I would tend to give them the benefit of the
doubt.  Mayor and Gardner versus Cuthbert and Ericson - I think that's a pretty easy call to make.
